Help on overclocking i7 860 on P55 Gd65 w/ high temp

I just recently resolved certain issues with my new build computer. So i now tried using OC Genie and cpu frequency overclocked to 3.41 GHZ with V core at 1.4 volts . I am already contended with that amount of increase however at 88% load the temp would reach 77 C at a room temperature 31 C. I guess that temp. is at a dangerous level so i turned off OC Genie. Then i tried to overlock it thru windows using the Control Center software provided by MSI. Under it i just went to Basic Overclocking wherein there are four (4) preset settings. I clicked on Game and the cpu overclocked to 3.116 GHZ and at 88% load the temp would reach as high as 68 C (room temp at 31 C). Temperatures were monitored thru the used of Real Temp.
I would want to reach at least 3.4 Ghz thru the use of OC Genie but those high temp made me reluctant to keep it at such speed. So at the moment i am just @ 3.1 Ghz and i am not even sure if at such speed or frequency that 68 C (88% load) is safe or not.
I changed my cpu cooler to a much larger one which is a Thermaltake Frio with 2 fans (push and pull configuration) and even reinstalled it but still no improvement.
I have read reviews wherein many where able to overclocked to as high as 3.8 Ghz and even 4 Ghz with this cpu cooler with no problems regarding temperature.
At first i thought of purchasing a Noctua NH DH14 but to my dismay that is not available here in the Philippines so i settled with Thermaltake Frio.
My case Cm Storm Sniper has enough fans but still the temp will still go that high if the cpu is overclocked to 3.4 Ghz.
I want a lower cpu temp so i can overclocked it a little bit higher.
Please help and thanks in advance.

With the use of an aircon at night the temp would reach at 56 C (88% load) at a mere 3.116 Ghz.
That's a significant 12°C drop compared to your other result @31°C:

In my opinion, this proves that the crucial factor in your case is the ambient temperature. And that means that the best way to get the system running cooler is to either keep the room temperature down or change the cooling method to something more effective @high ambient temperatures.

MSI p55 gd65 will not post

hey guys i'm having problems with my MSI p55 gd65
the build is
i7 860
msi p55 gd65
antec signiture 650w
ati 3450
seagate 7200 400GB hdd
8GB Corsair xms3 1333mhz
( i know some parts are under powered but it is going to form the basis of my new home server)
anyway i managed to get server 2008 R2 installed last night so all was working for a while but after restarting after changing the comp name and registering with Microsoft (i.e first actions) the computer refuses to post.
upon pressing the power button the power supply ticks as though there is a shot in the build somewhere , however i have tried to build this both inside and outside of a case and the same occurs.
Thinking it could be a psu issue i tried powering another machine with the psu and it fired no problems.
so i thought i would strip down the mother board to basics and ran the board with memory and cpu only the same occurred i have tried various different combinations of Hardware but to no avail. the only little joy i did have is when i removed the 4 pin mobo connector and then hte board starts going into a loop of lighting up the board leds for less than a second then tripping out as previous
i have tried reseting bios on various occasions
i have tried everything i can think of is it time to RMA the board i just feel that there is something i maybe overlooking

I have tried both of the above and the same still occurs
i have tried a different psu from the machine i am typing from now and had no joy
i believe for whatever reason my motherboard is dead (or at least shorting for some reason)
unless there are any other ideas i think i'm going RMA

P55-GD65 BSOD Issues, Help very much appreciated!

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a new PC with a P55-GD65 motherboard and Im getting a lot of blue screens.
I started a topic on SevenForums and attached all dump files but it seems the problem is hard to pin down.
The topic and dump files can be found here: http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/48197-please-help-bsod-new-windows-7-x64-pc.html
Im using the latest BIOS (1.5), Im running Windows 7 x64 Home Premium with latest updates and Im using the latest MSI drivers for the Motherboard.
The only software installed is:
- Eve Online client
- Steam and Modern Warfare 2
- Teamspeak RC2
- MS Security Essentials
- PC Angel (revovery software)
On SevenForums I was advised to check my harddrives, I runned HD Tune and my drives showed no errors.
I was also advised to run memtest, Im running it for over 4.5 hours now without any errors.
I realy dont know what I can do anymore. Do you guys have any advise what else I can try?
I have changed nothing in the BIOS itself and Im not overclocking the system.
Should I manually adjust some settings maybe?
Below is my hardware configuration:
CPU: Intel Core i7-860 2899 1156
Motherboard: MSI P55-GD65 (BIOS 1.5)
Memory: 4GB (2 modules of 2GB): OCZ Platinum Low Voltage OCZ3P1333LV4GK

MSI P55-GD65 + Corsair XMS3 CM3X2G1333C9 = Random freezes,buzzes,reboots..

Hello..
My system specs are:
Mobo: MSI P55-GD65
CPU: Intel Core i7-860 (with Megahalems heatsink)
RAM: 2x 2x2GB (dual channel = 8GB in total) Corsair XMS3 CM3X2G1333C9
GPU: ATI HD5770
PSU: Corsair HX520W
The problem I face, is that I get random freezes (sometimes this is accompanied by a loud buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz coming out of my speakers), or cold reboots. It's not something that is triggered by some specific action (e.g when I run a specific application or something like that), sometimes there are days that I don't get a single reboot, and other days that I get 4-5 freezes one after another..
I read in another forum, that this specific series of motherboards (GDxx) have some trouble dealing with certain memory brands, especially corsair. I don't know if that's true, just throwing it out there if someone has any similar experience to share..
So far I've tested my memory with memtest (overnight 8 hour test, it completed a few cycles), I've tested my cpu with a several hour prime95 small FFT test, which stressed my CPU in 100% for a few hours but that didn't trigger a freeze or a reboot. My temps are perfectly nice and normal..
Reading from Everest, I still use the AMI v1.0 version of the BIOS, but I don't tend to update things that work (there were a couple of times in the past that this only made things worse). I have set my bios settings to auto, do I don't know if I should play around with anything there, I must say though I've always been a bit skeptical about changing voltages or something (never played with overclocking in my whole life), fearing that I could damage anything, or at least lower its "expiration date"..
I hope someone expert can help me out..
PS. I must say this mobo is the second one I got, my first GD65 was replaced, but it had nothing to do with similar issues, I accidentally damaged the cpu socket. I can't seem to recall though, if I had such problems with my first mobo too..

As gcanuck mentioned, in BIOS Cell Menu, Spread Spectrum should be disabled. If not done so, test each RAM stick individually in the primary black dimm slot. DRAM V. maximum is 1.65v's. It also may be that the CPU IMC refuses to cooperate. With only two sticks in the black slots, does this freeze problem continue? Another possibility is that the two RAM kits are of different chips even though they have the same specs. Are the batch numbers the same? Some may have Elpida chips, & the other kit Samsung.

Although another guy in another topic suggested even higher voltages, up to 1.79V (!!!!)
Whoever advised that is a moronic idiot!

P55-GD65 BSOD With onboard audio enabled

Hello all,
I bought a new computer with a P55-GD65 motherboard 2 weeks ago and Im getting a random blue screen when the onboard audio is enabled in the BIOS.
Im using the latest BIOS version mainboard drivers. Im running a legal version of Windows 7 home premium and installed all updates.
The blue screen appears in all situations, browsing the internet, playing a game, even when the machine is just turned on and im not working on it.
Here parts of the latest dump files:
1. string:SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
bug check code: 0x0000003b
caused by driver: win32k.sys
2. string: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
bug check code: 0x0000001e
caused by driver: ntoskrnl.exe
II did search a lot for this errors and found no relationship with onboard audio, the weird thing is the BSOD are only happening when onboard audio is enabled on my system.
Any idea how to fix this, it would be great because the onboard audiocard is working alright with games and teamspeak. I have tried a X-FI Titanium card of Creative that was not working.
Hope someione can help.
Kind regards,
Lex

Sorry, here is a full list of my hardware and software configuration.

Installed all latest x64 MSI drivers for the motherboard.
I am not overclocking the system, the BIOS has default values with onboard audio disabled at the moment.
Now once again the problem:
If I enable the onboard audio controller the systems crashed with a blue screen. Somethimes it takes an hour, somethimes it crashed within 2 minutes after booting.
It doesnt matter what Im doing, even when I just startup the machine and aint using it because Im making some cofee its stuck at a blue screen when I come back.
If I disable the onboard audio controller It does not crash, I can leave the system on all day without a problem.
Hope someone can help.

P55-GD65 registers only half of memory (now won't even boot)

Hi
i have big problem with deployment of new system. Specs :
MSI P55-GD65
Patriot Sector 5 PGV34G1600ELK 2X2GB
Intel i7 860
CHIEFTEC 500W
NV 7900 gs (connected for diagnostic reasons)
First, BIOS recognized only half amount of RAM (2gb from 4gb)
-updated BIOS to 1.5 - nothing changed
-cleared CMOS and restored defaults - nothing changed
Second, i tried to instal win7/win2008r2 - freezes after installation booting progress bar disappears (tried to boot from USB key and from network deployment server)
Then, i tried to install win2003 - success! but system works unstable (eg once frozen at cinebench multicore test, once BSOD while booting etc)
CPU-Z recognized properly amount of installed RAM (and said that dual channel is disabled), but system still says that is only 2 gigs of ram.
Then, i found on this board that CPU bented pins could cause the problem, so i checked pins, and they seems to look fine (Hi res photo of pins)
After i mounted CPU back, the system event won't boot - all six CPU phase diods on main board are active, fans turns on, but boot process won't start.
Anyone know is there any way to fix it? (before i give back everything to vendor)

i just bought my MSI P55-GD80 yesterday. i just hope i wont be getting the same issue as some other guys do.
im planning on building my new rig tomorrow because i dont have my memory cards and video card yet(might get these items tomorrow).
so yeah, i will be checking the CPU seating. will try to seat it once then remove it for the pin contacts checking. and i hope too that the mobo i got has at least the 1.4 BIOS version, because to tell the truth i never done any BIOS flashing before(actually ive done it once with my XPS 630i rig and it went easy for me to do. i dont know whats the procedure for the MSI boards so no idea at all). and to tell the truth, this is my first time building my own rig so im a bit excited and i prioritize durability(long lasting) and always hoping not to get any problem building my very own rig for the first time.
**so here is my question :
how will i know if the CPU pad doesnt have a good contact with the socket pins?
what should i do if after checking i find out that my CPU pad doesnt have a good contact with the socket pins?
what if after checking i find out my CPU doesnt have good contact with the socket pins but with my GD80 reading 4gb of my memory cards?
if you wanna know where i got my board, i bought it here in japan from a known computer parts retailer. and yes im living here for now and its really hard for me to return my product if its faulty because, first im not that good at speaking japanese language, and second they might have different procedure for returning products that i might not know.
thanks in advance, will appreciate any help and reply,
Skaahr
***edited : i just checked the sticker from my mobo which i read from the other topic that tells it shows the BIOS version in your mobo, the tiny green sticker shows me this " IMS140 " does it means i have the 1.4 BIOS version?

P55-GD65:USBPORT.SYS fault

Nothing than troubles with this one.this is my first MSI board and it will be my last MSI board nothing then troubles with it
When i remove the webcam from the system the PC starts automatic again.
When i unmarked automatic reboot then i get this fault "USBPORT.SYS"(blue screen)
When i do the same with usb stick it works fine,i have this problem only with the web cam and in all the usb ports
And it is only in Win xp and the fault is not when i unplug the webcam in win7.

I send the modules back to the shop on RMA before I read the above suggestions. Hope you do not mind guys!
My opinion at the moment is that I have done a whole lot to make these modules work, more than you can expect from a customer. As far as this goes, I believe the modules should be able to run at standard settings (timings, voltage, etc) on any motherboard. I am not interested where the responsibility lies for the manufacturers of either hardware, but the whole thing seems to be lacking standardization (if at all possible with this kind of hardware). Maybe I am to narrow minded in this, but that’s the reason I send them back. Apart from being a hardware and computer enthusiast, I am also still a customer with certain expectations.
It looks like the shop agreed because, after receiving the modules via the RMA procedure they replied (translated from dutch):
Quote
Dear xxxx
We have tested your returned product(s). The results from our test indicate that the product is indeed faulty.
We will contact you as soon as possible to discuss further steps.
Since the receipt notification (of receiving the package I send) and the notification above were only 1 minute apart, I have reason to believe that they did not test the modules at all (or did not care what the result is).
I do wish to express my gratitude for your help, without your help I could not have come this far! Thanks!
@utgamer2004: I hope your RMA will be granted as well, my experience may be positive but this will depend on the shop or the manufacturer.

Problems with MSI P55-GD65

Hello,
I purchased an MSI P55-GD65 mobo approximately a month ago and have been having some problems with it. When I first started it, everything turned on fine. I attempted using OC Genie and began to encounter problems restarting the computer. Either the computer would turn on but I would receive a blank black screen and would have to perform a hard shutdown, or the computer would turn on, stay on for 3 seconds, then reboot. I realize the latter problem is an overclocking protection measure. Occasionally the computer would start right off the bat, but this is a rare event. At first I thought this was due to bad overclocking, so I set all BIOS settings to default. It seemed to work fine for a few days, but now I am experiencing these problems with default settings. I am currently testing both sticks of RAM with memtest. During testing of 1 stick, my computer went to a black screen and stopped responding. However, I have been unable to reproduce this effect and so far no errors are being reported. I reseated the CPU to reset my fan, yet the problems began before this. I think it might be the RAM,but I am worried that either I have a short (in which case I wouldn't know how to find it), or I have a damaged motherboard (in which case I am past my RMA date). Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the quick response! I have cleared CMOS and am currently retesting. I will update with further results. Additionally, I forgot 1 more symptom. When the POST screen comes up, it turns into a blank white screen and I have to perform a hard shutdown. This has only happened twice though.

Cold startup windows 7 hang p55 gd65 2133MHz RAM

Hey guys,
Looking for some advice here,
Basically i can't get my RAM to work properly anywhere near rated speed. I have it in an overclocked i5 setup @ 3.7GHz with 185 bclk (p55 gd65 v1.0 BIOS)
Hence my memory options are 1110MHz, 1480MHz or 1850MHz depending on the multiplier.
To get the correct timings i loaded the XMP and then went to manual timings and subsequently disabled the XMP so it is running at rated 9-9-9-28, every one of the above timings should be well within specification. I have the memory @ 1.65v also.
At 1110MHz everything is fine.
When i up it to 1480 or 1850 i get a 'cold startup bug' for lack of a better name. i.e. windows will load and then hang, generally with a blank greeny-blue screen. if i restart the machine, it runs fine from then on. If the machine is restarted again it is fine, its only after it has been off for a significant period that i get this hang. After a restart ive prime blend tested for 15hrs without a hitch @ 1850MHz.
As everything is totally stable after this first failed load, it doesnt seem like anything is faulty per se, but just something isnt being detected correctly at this first attempt which is making me think it could be BIOS related. I have a release day board with v1.0 and im considering m-flashing to the latest v1.5. In v1.4 notes it states "Improved memory compatibility", could that be where my solution lies. I fully understand the risks associated with BIOS flashing so i wanted i few opinions on the problem if at all possible before i do something i could regret.....
Cheers for any help you guys can provide!
Dave

P55-GD65 - Available RAM Suddently Changed

Sorry for double posting this, but I figure I shouldn't have hijacked the thread I originally posted this in.
My problem can best be described as a sudden unexpected change in the available RAM. I have 2x2GB sticks that had previously been recognized at 4GB available, but this morning my machine will only POST with 2GB available. Both sticks are recognized and I can view SPD info, but during POST, only 2GB is reported.
I built my machine about 3 weeks ago and everything was working great, booted first try and no errors in memtest+ or LinX or Prime95. I have been running just fine since then. I have MSI P55-GD65, Core i5 750, DDR3 2x2GB GSkill Trident 2000MHz RAM.
This past weekend I decided to mildly overclock, I upped the bclk to 160 and adjusted the DIMM voltage to 1.6 according to the RAM spec. I tested and tested this config and everything seemed stable. I have been using the machine to play games and things with no problems.
I go to resume from hibernate this morning and the machine hangs. I restart and I notice BIOS is only showing 2GB during POST. I check out the BIOS settings and it sees the 2 DIMMS, but still only shows 2GB. I boot into Windows 7 x64 and it shows 4GB (2GB Useable). Previously all 4GB were recognized and useable just fine. This may be relevant, I don't know, but I started a long video transcoding job before bed last night. Presumably this job finished and the machine went into hibernate.
I reset all settings back to default, thinking maybe my overclock wasn't as stable as I thought, but no change. Even before I reset the clocks, I tried upping the DIMM voltage, the VTT voltage, reducing RAM frequency. Nothing.
I figure maybe I need to upgrade the BIOS, as I am currently running v1.5 and latest is 1.8. I download the 1.8 image to a flash drive and try to use M-Flash to boot the BIOS image off the drive, but BIOS hangs with a repeating BEEP when I try that.
Then I noticed something very odd. When I boot up with the flash drive plugged into a USB port, BIOS reports 4GB on POST. Without the drive, 2GB on POST.
As an absolute last resort I will reseat the CPU, but after the flash drive behaviour, I am not sure it is a CPU pin-contact issue. When I get home from work I am going to flash to v1.8 BIOS and see if that helps. If not, I will reseat all DIMMS and try that. If the problem persists, I will try DIMMS individually and in different slots and see. I will also try a CMOS clear, before and after the BIOS update.
Is there anything else I should try before reseating the CPU? What if I just wiggle the heatsink? If it all possible, I would like to avoid having to clean up the TIM and reapply, it was a big pain on my heatsink.
Thanks,

Have been monitoring very closely and the issue has not cropped up again.
I have been running everything at stock since the incident. As I am really not sure what caused the problem, I am a little hesitant to overclock again. Though I do want to get more performance from my RAM and CPU as they can both be increased by a fair amount.
I have also disabled hibernation in Windows 7, as the issue occurred at some point while the machine was in hibernation state. It went into hibernation with 4GB and woke up with only 2GB. I realize this does not mean hibernation caused the problem, but could have played a factor.
I think I will slowly restore settings back to how had them before the problem occurred and I will be sure to test more thoroughly this time.
Thanks for help and advice

MSI P55 GD65 registers only 4gb of memory.

To start off here's my system:
CPU: Intel i5 750
Motherboard: MSI P55 GD65
Ram: 4x 2gb G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 1600 dual channel memory (8gb total)
Video card: nvidia 9600gt 512mb (temp till new AMD cards)
The bios boot screen states 4gb of DDR3 1333 ram. Going into bios, it does recognize that 4x2gb sticks are in the system, but still states only 4gb of ram available. Booting into Win7 64-bit, the Performance and Information screen states 8gb (3.99gb usable). Task manager/resource monitor also show only 4gb total. Essentially, the system knows there's 8gb but will only use 4gb.
I've been told to check for a memory remapping option in the bios, but I've seen no such option so far.

and a Antec Twelve Hundred Big Tower Black
problem is it wont boot up keeps stoping after about 5 or 6 secs and starts again
ive tryed reinstalling ever thing again and using one stick of ram runing out of ideas
help me please

download the manual from msi site , then look at different light configuration and compare it to what you see on your board when it keeps rebooting, then from the manual you should see possible causes. i give you an example
i see red red blue red {each light can be blue or red or green,or off}.
and on the manual such config gives the possible cause, cpu not sited properly or memory not installed..
from what you have described it looks you have bios problem which means you have to return it to the seller or nearest msi dealer.

Advice on memory please..... [P55-GD65]

Hi,
Something went terrible wrong last saturday. Installed a new P55-GD65/I7-860, everything went fine until flashing new BIOS (v1.2 > 1.4) with MFlash (I know now, after visiting this forum, I shouldn't have done that). Motherboard seems dead now. (no video-output, tried CMOS-reset, 1 stick of mem, other Videocard, but no sign of life except some leds above the mem burning; fans and so on also working)
Maybe I'll send it back to MSI-support here in Holland to reflash it, but I already ordered a new GD-65. Just wandering around this forum I understand there's also a lot of hassle about memory. I'm using this: Kingston KHX1600C9D3K2/2G 2GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECCCL9 (Kit of 2) 9-9-9-27 1.7-1.9V and a pair of 4G (2x 2G) of the same kind. Will this give troubles? If not, what's the best advice on V(oltages), 2T/1T, and that kind of stuff? Oh, basically no intention to overclock.......
TIA
(Rest of stuff: PSU: CoolerMaster RealPower650 GPU: Radeon 3870/512, system(CPU/GPU) = watercooled)

1.7v to 1.9v is too high for the RAMs. I would suggest that you set to 1.6v max in BIOS for your RAMs.
I've tried to do that but cant find the way to access manual any cpu or memory voltage ..its always disable..
bios version 1.5
how to do that?

Problem with sound in p55 gd65

hello
i have a problem in my system and i dont know its from mainbord or other devices
when i playing game or watching movie,suddenly the sound is cutting down(stoping) and cpu usage going up(25 or 30 %)
in game i had no sound and game play was with tik and also in watchig film
this problem is not always happend but im comfused
main msi p55 gd65,cpu intel core i5 2.66 ghz,ram 4gb ocz 1033,graphic ati 5770 sapphire,power icute 950w,hdd WD 1tb

Use MSI Afterburner and set lower or fixed clocks for the graphics card.Enable Unofficial OVerclocking and set a fixed 2D clock to be applyed at start up ,see what happens.
Play a little with the 2D/3D clocks.I ve saw somewhere on a forum a issue with a similar mobo from some other vendor and another video card.The problems of that user stopped when he lowered the clocks of the video card.
You are using a 5770 which does a lot of frequency/voltage switching while in desktop.

[WTA] MSI P55-GD65 6 phase on all the time? Where's APS?

Hello, First Post here..
I bought a MSI P55-GD65 lately and it runs spectacular and overclocks nicely. the newer BIOS 1.6 is noticably more stable when High VDroop is used than the BIOS 1.5, resulting in more power-efficient system of my own despite overclocking .
But nonetheless, i have some issues i would like to be answered:
1. When I use BIOS 1.5, the core voltage would be dropped to 0.896 (CPU-Z) when i set the core voltage as auto and all the power saving features enabled (C1E & EIST Enabled, C6 state selected, Turbo Mode off). but when i flash into BIOS 1.6, the same setting does not result in decreased voltage, the core clock still slows down though like it used to be. Maybe the next revision of BIOS will fix it?
2. I searched this forum about APS on P55-GD65, i have found that somebody here had testified that the BIOS 1.6 fixes the all-phase-working problem, as i was having the same problem too. Then i decided to flash to 1.6 too (which work flawlessly with your USB Flasher by the way, kudos ). But the problem still persists. APS only works when i apply through Control Center. i wonder about APS statement of "will work regardless of operating system" is a true and automated one. And yeah, i have tried to clear CMOS and run it on nominal mode and still no changes from BIOS 1.5. The 6 phase LED is lit all the time unless i "apply" in Control Center.
My Current system are:
MSI P55-GD65 (Lotes ILM)
I5 750
HD 5770
Silverstone Zeus 750Watt
WDC Black 500GB
Windows 7 Ultimate
Thanks for your attention.

you have to run the cpu at default settings so (133mhz X multiplier) the slight overclock of the cpu will disable power saving so all the phase leds will constantly be lit up.
Have the multiplier running at 160 because of XPM 1600 memory blocks, and the board runs with 2/3 phases in normal mode.
Are using BIOS 1.3 because of XPM problems with other versions.
